This lecture covers attenuation of noise applied following amplification, moderation of nonlinearities located in the forward path, intentional inclusion of a nonlinearity in the feedback path, demonstration of a nonlinear audio amplifier with added noise

This lecture covers first and second order systems, transient response, a demonstration illustrating approximating a higher-order system as a first or second order one, realtionships between step response and frequency response, and Bode plots.

This lecture covers stability, special case of linear systems, behavior of first, second, and third-order systems as a function of loop-transmission magnitude, Routh Criterion, root-locus analysis, and sample construction for a second-order system.

This lecture covers Nyquist Criterion, development by mapping from s-place to the gain-phase plane, relative stability, closed-loop frequency response, and the Nichols Chart, including illustration with a 3-dimensional chart.

This lecture covers compensating a gain-often amplifier, demonstration of performance that results with various types of compensation, and a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of four compensating techniques.

This lecture covers the topology and exact loop transmission of feedback compensation, simplification for the case of large minor-loop transmission magnitude, and a popular operational amplifier configuration that uses feedback compensation.

This lecture covers required types of loop transmissions and nonlinearities, confirmation by Bode and root-locus analysis, nonlinear compensation, and demonstrations of a conditionally-stable system with a saturating nonlinearity.

This lecture covers the Wienbridge topology and control of its amplitude by limiting, the quadrature oscillator, the use of a slow loop for amplitude stabilization in order to maintain spectral purity, and demonstrations.
